Solve : mounting ntfs file system...?

Answer»

hello everyone,
Am using Fedora core 6 ..... but i have a problem in mounting a NTFS file system.... can any one help me on how to do this..... i have tried the basic command.....
$mount /dev/sda2 discA
$mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 discA

any thing wrong in the command line plz... MAKE SURE you have the package that allows NTFS File Systems to be mounted installed. Most distros come with it. But some may not.try it with a slash before the discA: "mount /dev/sda2 /discA"
does the directory /discA exist? If not, create it with mkdir

Have you considered upgrading to Fedora 8? It has WAY better SUPPORT for hardware than FC6 did, including WORKING NTFS support as soon as Fedora 8 is installed. No need to install anything extra after.

Just to give you an idea of how much has changed, when I installed FC6, I had to also fiddle with getting my sound, video, network, webcam, codecs, and NTFS support to work. When I installed Fedora 8, I only had to do codecs and my webcam. Everything else was ready from the installation. And for NTFS, mounting was automatic. No need to edit any files or enter any commands in the terminal.
